What did they promise you that they haven't delivered?  Please go back and look at the promotional material before you answer this.  I don't ever recalling Apple saying that the II would ever be able to use more than 8 megs under the System.  Nor is something "broken."  Everything works just like it was advertised.

I too hope Apple makes ROM upgrades available but lets stop the empty claims that Apple told you you could address 4 gigabytes of RAM.  From the ads and other literture I've looked at, they never made any promise to upgrade ROMs or that the existing ROMs would permit you to go beyond 8 megs on a II and 16 on some of the later machines.
